So I just finished listening through Welcome to the Night Sky. I'd heard a bunch of it live before I got the CD , which has never happened before, so that was exciting. My favourite songs from it at the moment are Archaeologists and Oblivion.
So, how bout that Wintersleep, eh?
-
They're from around my parts and they're pretty excellent!
-
Phenomenal Canadian band. Check out their previous two self-titled records, which include instant underground Canadian classics like "Danse Macabre," "Jaws Of Life," "Avalanche" and "Orca."
-
why is this not a black metal band
FAIL
-
Yeah everything about their aesthetic is really grim and kvlt isn't it? Then they play gorgeous, layered and dark indie-pop.
-
I've been meaning to check them out for some time. Any recommended place to start with them? Also, has anyone by any chance caught them live? They're swinging through here in a few weeks, and I don't think I'd have much better to do that evening.

I haven't personally, but my friend has seen them live multiple times and he said they were awesome.
-
They are superb live. I would start with their untitled album because it has some of their best songs including "Faithful Guide", "Migration", and "Nerves Normal, Breath Normal".
-
seriously, Black Metal world, I am disappointed in you. You had a name available and you didn't pick up on it at all. For shame, for shame.

I saw them live this past Saturday and it is definitely worth it. They sound really good and they were all into it. Plus, there was some pretty impressive facial hair.

Dude, they have songs titled "(nerves normal, breath normal)" and "Danse Macabre" and "Jaws Of Life" and their first two albums look like this:

Pretty dark aesthetic on the first record especially.
EDIT: For the record, the second album here is the one that everyone refers to as "their untitled record."
-
Here's the untitled album:

It is in .m4a so I'm sorry to you folks out there too good for iTunes.

I just found out these handsome devils are playing where I live this coming Tuesday for $13!

A pair of my friends went to V Fest here in Toronto, Wintersleep performed, and for about three months, all I heard was "Oh my god, wintersleep is SO AWESOME!" from like all of my indie oriented friends. Initially I resisted liking them, probably to stick out from the crowd. But eventually I caved, and I strongly enjoy a few of their songs now. They are supposed to be immense live. (Not actually physically immensely, but you probably get the idea.) I haven't listened to the new album.
On a side note, I was going up to Muskoka (for those of you that don't know, its a really nice cottaging area around Lake Huron/Georgian Bay in Ontario), and it was really misty and foggy and rainy, and Wintersleep was perfect. The first two albums really give off a "great wild north" feel, I find. Nothing illustrates that better than traveling through the forests and rocky outcroppings of the Canadian Shield and having Nerves Normal, Breath Normal pounding in your ears.

So did you go?
The Cheesinator, they are amazing live and you should definitely go see them if you get the chance.
-
Definitely go see them if you get the chance. Fantastic show. I put a few words about it into the gigs thread.
-
I'm positively insane with jealousy of folks who've seen them live. I was supposed to go to their concert in Halifax this Saturday, it was all ready for a wicked night of amazing music-hood. But alas, a fellow co-worker snuck around and made it so I had to work on Saturday, so he could go. /fist shake.
People who've seen them live: Are they better live or recording?
-
Holy crap! Another forumite in the Halifax area! Hi there!
I really want to go to the concert but I doubt any of my friends will have heard of them let alone want to go to one of their concerts with me.
-
Somehow these guys have slipped under my radar before this point. I'm listening to 'Welcome to the Night Sky' as I type this and I'm really liking what I hear a lot. Really excellent stuff. Thanks for the links!
-
So did you go?
This isn't a question you should have to ask.
-
Not to be greedy (and sorry for breaking the taboo on requests - I promise I'll make up for this by contributing more to the sendspace thread) but can someone please upload the first album that Johnny posted the picture of? I would love you endlessly for it.
-
Likewise, I can't find them at all in Australia (that and I'm lazy).

Go by yourself, it's not that bad! You'll just have to sack up and talk to new people while waiting for the show to start.
-
That might have been a possibility if the concert wasn't tonight. I don't have a ticket or a way to get into Halifax.

Oh no! Not human interaction. The horror!

They probably didn't sell out.. But I'm making sad feelings because I know they're playing out there and I'm not there. Also, I'm not really in the Halifax area, I'm in Amherst >:| I'm up in Halifax TOMMOROW for passport crap, I'm sad I missed their concerts tonight.
-
I finally got to listen to the self-titled, and the drummer is amazing.
It's like if Pearl Jam woke up and were suddenly introverted and less angry. And more dreamy.
Jaws of Life is mmmmm....
-
Jaws of life is on their second, which is known as the untitled one.

But hey, if you do find a copy of their self-titled album, released 2003, please post it in the sendspace thread.
